CONNECTING TO A GAS SUPPLY
GAS CYLINDER REQUIREMENTS
The griddle is set and tested with liquid propane gas only. The regulator supplied is set for 27.94 cm (11 inch) water column (WC)
and is for use with liquid propane (LP) gas only. The factory-supplied regulator and hose must be used with a 9 kg (20 lbs) LP gas
cylinder, to the dimensions of 18-1/4” (46.35 cm) high, 12-1/4”(31 cm) diameter. Contact your gas supplier for a special regulator
for bulk gas that fuels other appliances.
CAUTION: It is important to inspect the full length of the gas line hose. If it is evident there is excessive
abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, the hose must be replaced prior to the appliance being used. The
replacement hose assembly shall be that specified by the manufacturer.
INSTALLING A GAS CYLINDER
1. Make sure the gas cylinder valve is in the CLOSED position.
• PB2BGD2 / PB3BGD2 / PB4BGD2 - From the side of the
cart, place foot ring of gas cylinder onto the gas cylinder
bracket. Use the gas cylinder wire retainer to secure the
gas cylinder in a fixed position.
• PB5BGD2 - Place gas cylinder onto the debossed circle
of bottom shelf. Rotating clockwise, use the gas cylinder
bolt to hold the gas cylinder in position.
On all units, it is important to ensure the gas cylinder is
completely upright, as it is unsafe to operate the griddle if
the gas cylinder is not installed properly.
2. Ensure the regulator valve on the griddle is completely closed
by turning the knob clockwise to the "O" (OFF) position.
3. Remove the protective caps from the regulator valve opening
and the top of the gas cylinder. Save the caps. Check the gas
cylinder to assure it has proper external male threads (type 1
connection per ANS Z21.81).
4. Insert the gas cylinder valve into the threaded opening of the
regulator valve. Turn the quick coupling nut clockwise until
firm. Hand-tighten only.
5. Gas cylinder is now installed.
The outdoor grill, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes
with the National Electrical Code ANS/NFPA 70, or Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
1. Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near this appliance.
2. Never fill the gas cylinder beyond 80 percent full.
